S4 vs S5 LSD pumpkin difference? (n/a)
How would one go about telling the difference between a S4 and a S5 LSD out of an N/A just by looking at the pumpkin?
I'm sure there are some physical (visible) differences, but I've searched and came up empty. If I had an S5 pumpkin, how would I know it was a viscous type as opposed to clutch type? Thanks!! |
bump.
Any ideas? Someone mentioned a nipple might be present on the S5 one for fluid. Anyone have pics of either (or both) that we could compare? thanks! |
i thought of that yesterday, someone needs to take a pic of a non lsd rear end and a lsd rear end and see if they are different, that way whenever a 16yr old who wants to know if he has lsd all they have to do is look at a pic rather than asking. its like an average of 4 posts a week about lsd's...
|
the only way i know how to tell them apart is with the butt-shafts out. you can see straight through the LSD rearend and the NA rearend has a bar through the middle of it.
|
To my knowledge there is no external difference between s4 and s5 diffy's. LSD or non LSD. I havbe dealt with them all. The LSD's should have a tag on the fill bolt, the open will not.
There is a nipple on top of all of the diff's for a pressure vent. |
with the butt-shafts out Bitchmill sounds like he has experience with "butt shafts"... :rlaugh: :rofl: |
im gonna have experience with your buttshaft landers
|
Just to clarify, please read my original post -- I don't care about the difference between a non-lsd and lsd. I want to know how to tell 2 N/A lsds apart, one being S4 & one being S5. So it sounds like what Kevin is saying is that there is no way to tell w/o disasembling the pumpkin itself?
that sucks. |
There is a minor difference in the pumpkin between the S4 and S5 where the jack support is.
but there is no external way to tell the difference if it has a LSD or not on a S5 |
Yeah, and I'm pretty confident that I can tell it's an LSD -- what 'minor difference' is there? Obviously pics would be best -- I can't even find decent pics anywhere...
|
It went from a solid round jack spot, to one with with a large slot in the middle.
|
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Mark!

S4:

I think so... problem is now I'm not sure if I'll have access to the entire assembly or just the LSD unit removed from it...
|
So what's with the label I've got on mine? It's a little metal tab hanging off of the drain bolt (I guess that's what it is) that says what kind of diff it is. It's on a 88GXL.
|
From what I understand, the tag will indicate it's an LSD. Problem is, most tags are probably gone after 15 yrs & 100k miles, so if it's missing, that doesn't mean it's not an LSD.
